- DirectorWolfgang StaudteStarsGötz GeorgeHans NielsenRudolf PlatteA German choir consisting of eight men is on a vacation in Yugoslavia. Most are middle-aged former Nazis. They arrive at a village populated solely by women who avoid contact with the men. 20 years earlier the Germans murdered all the males in the village. The choir tries to lighten the mood with a German song, but then avoidance is replaced by hostility. When asking to buy bread they are referred to a woman who gives them a box with 437 empty bullet shells, leftover from the murders. By using a book, "Yugoslavian for tourists" a young boy makes contact with a woman who became mentally ill then. She misunderstands his words and thinks that she will get her son back if she will bake bread. Meanwhile the men steal and slaughter a pig. The women then throw their car down a mountainside. On the next day the choir and the women reconcile. A priest from a nearby village finds a car that the men may borrow for one day. Since their own car is insured they do not report the women. When they leave, the mentally ill woman runs after them to give them the bread she has baked.8/10

- DirectorHarald ReinlStarsUwe BeyerRolf HennigerSiegfried WischnewskiVolker von Alzey, the royal bard of the Burgunds (far greater then modern Burgundy), ruled by the Christian, papist king Gunther, who has two brave, loyal brothers and a sister Kriemhild, tells in rhyme the tale of Siegfried of Xanthen, who in the northern kingdom of the Lowlands was a forgery apprentice, till his jealous rival's attack made him drench his blade in blood, which made it all-splitting, the right means to slay the feared-most dragon, Rachnir, whose blood makes him, once bathed in it, invulnerable; Alberich, king of the Alves, whose helmet of invisibility he beats, shows him the dragon-protected ring of the Nibelungen, and he sets out by ship for Iceland, to awake its maiden queen Brunhild, but refuses to stay with her, returning southward to rule from Xanthen on the Rhine and seek himself a queen. Siegfried challenges Gunther at Easter to a duel for both realms, is however proposed instead a preferable marital alliance with Gunther's sister Kriemhild. Just after their betrothal invades Ludegast, king of the Saxons, who however swears allegiance to Burgundy when defeated but spared in duel by Siegfried. Now Gunther demands, for Kriemhild's hand, Siegfried gets him Brunhild as politically ideal bride for Burgundy. Siegfried manages this, but only by using more magic, which will later come at a terrible price...7/10
- DirectorHarald ReinlStarsRolf HennigerSiegfried WischnewskiMaria MarlowNow Brunhild knows by which treason she was won for king Gunther of Burgund by Siegfried of Xanthen, and has been revenged by his foul murder by Hagen, more bloody revenge is inevitable. Hagen steals the Nibelungen-treasure to sink it in the stream and manages to kill Alberich and seize his invisibility-cap. Queen Kriemhild is packed of to an abbey so her son may grow up to become a prelate, but Hagen's men raid them and kill the child. She now accepts to become the wife of Etzel, king of the truly barbaric Hun nomads and invites the Burgund court nomenclature at their Danube court for their heir's baptism a few years later, but prepared a bloody conspiracy with her xenophobic brother-in-law behind her surprisingly chivalric husband's back, while Gunther accepts, hoping to avoid a far bloodier war, despite the danger for his party of knights, which materializes...6/10

- DirectorJan FehseStarsBjarne MädelNick Julius SchuckAnne SchäferVolker is a parcel deliverer, the single father of his 16-year-old son Benny, and football coach for a youth team. He is clearly one of the socially-underprivileged, but that never spoils his good mood. The long workdays, the miserable pay, and his son's puberty increasingly push Volker to his limits: Benny sets other priorities, his school-leaving certificate is in jeopardy, Volker threatens to lose his driver's license, and the money is often not enough for social participation--sometimes hardly for the bare minimum. When Benny considers returning to his alcoholic mother, Volker gives up something that those around him but especially he himself, could always rely on: his integrity. He takes advantage of the opportunity to get money quickly with an illegal second job. But the supposed solution to his acute problems only pulls Volker deeper into the vortex: he is faced with the shards of his existence. With help from his good friend Lena, Volker realizes how he can find support in life again: he must return to his own path, which he'd lost sight of in the turbulence of the last few months.6/10
